Admin	Just something I've been thinking about, curious about... Posted : 12 Nov, 2010 05:41 PM Are there really people who God intends to stay single the rest of their life? Sometimes it feels like God doesn't bring someone into my life because he doesn't intend for me to be with anyone at all. I don't know if this is the case but I really don't know if it's meant to be anymore, me finding true love and marriage and all that. Post Reply

Posted : 12 Nov, 2010 08:22 PM God will take away the desire or lead you to become a eunuch, if it is not his plan for you to become married. Paul said it is better to marry rather than burn with passion; Christ said that some men make themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of Heaven. Post Reply

Posted : 13 Nov, 2010 05:49 PM One of the first commandments that God gives is to "Be fruitful and multiply", which morally to do that you have to be married. Also, almost all examples where someone was single in the Bible they worked full time in the ministry. If you aren't called into full time ministry, God isn't calling you to be single. In my experience, if someone is telling you that God might be calling you to be single, it's because they don't want to help you with your search for a wife. In your case, Cool, I think you just need to hold out for another year or so until you finish college. Women are going to be expecting you to at least be able to pay your own way. Post Reply

How are you setting yourself up to pursue it? If you look in the bible, you see the example laid out straight from Adam that a man should already have a relationship with God he's living out and be pursuing his calling before God brings him his wife. If you don't get the big things squared away, it's going to be much harder to be the man your wife will need you to be in your relationship. Post Reply

Just really stop caring about it so much, and you might be surprised at how fast it happens. Focus on following God and becoming Christ-like, and you will draw people to you, just like He did. :peace::peace: Post Reply

Posted : 25 Nov, 2010 03:36 AM It is hard to be single and I have found from a break up that afterward I drew even closer to God. I learned a lot from that relationship. When I saw how I felt when the guy seemed to put others first before me, I realized how Christ felt the same way when I put others (a guy) before him. I vowed never to put anyone before Christ again. Christ's heart hurts for me when I dont put him first. And that guy showed me how painful it is not to be first. I wont put Christ through that pain. Christ will be with me forever. That guy wont. Christ died for me. That guy doesnt even really care. There is no comparison. But I agree, it is still painful to not have, or lose a relationship. Post Reply

Posted : 26 Nov, 2010 07:46 AM I think God give each one a choice, to be single or be married, and there is also advice to those who cannot control their passion. But before you focus your choice on marriage, consider also that there are times being single is better status than be in a chaotic abusive marriage. Finding true love is hard, and keeping true love is even harder. There are lots of hurdles along the way and sometimes the other just don�t want to tackle the hurdles along with you. With the internet, it seems easier to find another true love than face troubles that may have strengthen the relationship. Fact is, you cannot control what the other will do, you only have control of what you can. I think if for now you have not found true love yet, find true love in yourself, develop yourself in God, in occupation, in emotion, then I believe true love will be coming your way. If someone already disappointed you, set her free ( not easy though haha) but if she comes back to you, she is yours, if not, then she never was. It might be that God knew you are not yet ready to find your true love. Post Reply
